The
Epidemiology Monitor - September
2026
Editor's Note:
Labor Day
is over and we're all back to work. With that comes a jam
packed issue of the EpiMonitor. You'll find a listing of
free online calculators in Resources this month. If
you're interested in a flexible schedule, in the Job Hunt
this month we have a piece on how to start winning
contract work. This month's AI piece discusses AI adoption
outpacing training in field epidemiology programs.
Our reader
opinion of the month addresses how evidence based medicine
opposed vaccines and undermined public health. You'll
note we've followed that up with a popular article from
our archives about how you can effectively discuss
vaccines across the partisan divide.
From our
regular contributors you will find a piece on wildfire
smoke written by the father of a firefighter. You will
also find a piece about NHANES, it's work over 70 years
and the questions it raises as a natural outgrowth of its
work.
At this
time of year the EpiMonitor begins the annual project of
building our worldwide event calendar for the upcoming
year. We normally publish that in the issue that comes
out on New Year's Eve. If your institution has an event
that runs at least 8 hours we'd like to include it in this
issue. We normally list short courses, conferences,
summer/winter programs, meetings, and unique events such
as hackathons. We need the name of the event, sponsor(s),
date(s), location, and website for the event in order to
list it. We also have advertising opportunities to help
you spread the word about your event. Please feel free to
reach out to us with any questions you may have.
In jobs
this month you'll find almost 100 open positions
including, for the first time ever in the EpiMonitor, a
full page of fellowship opportunities. Fall is prime job
posting season and the next 60-90 days should be chock
full of openings for you to review. Have an open job?
Reach out and we'll send you information about our
advertising program for jobs.
As always,
we continue to provide you with our popular monthly word
game feature, an overview of what we are reading from the
public media, and a listing of near term upcoming events.
This month's Notes on People includes 14 of your peers -
many of whom are being honored for their work. Ask us
about the sponsorship opportunities for these standard
monthly features - it offers you great exposure for your
event, institution, book or other item of interest to our
readers!
Until next
month - stay safe and busy!
